the Matter.
A we'll known Fulton butcher met 8
REGIsTER reporter yesterday and said the
statement that fish in the creek were poi
soned from offal, SC, was a mistake, fol
nothing of the kind has been thrown in
the creek by Fulton butchers for at least
four months, "a il is against the law t.
dump offal in the creek.
"And even," said he, eff offal shoalG bt
thrown in the creek it would be food and
not poison for the fish. Years ago wher
the butchers did throw offal in the creek il
full Of fish, and 6ne ones at that. And
on the other hand, if the onal was thrown
in and poisoned the water, it could moi
have killed many fish because they are not
there. The fish in the creek between Full
ton and the river are very few. My opin'
ion is that the whole matter is q little
scheme on the part Of some one who ex'
poets to reap some advantage from such
agitation"

A False RenOrt.

1t was reported yesterday that Mr..
Alfred PAUL, who owns the land upon
which the PAUL gas well was sunk in
Martins Ferry, some years ago, had made
a proposition to donate the hole to a com.
pany of citizens of that place who would
raise the money necessary to drill the well
several hundred feet deeper, in the hope
of striking a flow of gas. Mr.. jos. T.
Hanes, Mr.. Paull's agent, was spoken to
concerning the matter, and that gentle.
man repudiated the story. Mr.. PAUL was
interviewed by telephone, and pronounced
the rumOr g%roundless.

THE BREATH of a chronic catarrh pa
tient is often so offensive that he canuot go
into society and he becomes an object OF
disgust. After a time liberation sets in,
the spongy bones are attacked and FIRE,
quently entirely destroyed. A constant
source of discomfort is the dripping of the
purulent secretions into the throat, some
times producing inveterate bronchitis,
which in its turn has been the exciting
cause of pulmonary disease. The brilliant
results which have attended its use for
years past properly designated Ely's Cream
Balm as by far the best, if not the only
real cure for hay fever, rose cold and ca
tarrh.

Gen. Benjamin Upper having visited
the Ohio Country in 1855, upon his return
TO the East, went directly to Rutland,
Mass, TO confer with Gen. Rufus Putnam
10 regard to the forming of an "Associa-
ton" for the purchase of the Western
lands with a view to settlements there. AS
a result of this conference the "0hio Com
pany" was formed in 1876. General Ru-
fus Putnam as Superintendent Of the affairs
of the Ohio Company, arrived at the mouth
of the Muskingum where land purchased
of Congress had been located
with a company Of forty-eight
men. They were nearly all
young men. Their business was to survey
and clear the lands, build cabins, plant
corn and make ready for the families of
settlers who were expected to arrive during
the summer. On the opposite point Fort
Harmer had been built-1675 s6-and was
at this time occupied by United States
troops. at this time also, Captain Pipes,
Chief of the Delaware Indians, was camped
on the east point with about seventy Of his
tribe, men, women and children. General
Putnam descended the River Ohio in a
covered fiat boat or gallery. He landed
with his men at what is 10 Marietta,
about noon, April Z, 1873, and was cor
daily received by Captain Pipes.

A Novel Legal Tangle.

Mrs. c. E. Skinner, the wife Of the
Washington county man, who wa ex-
tradited from this State some two months
ago, upon the charge that he had been en-
gagged in gambling, has been advised by
competent legal authority to forward q
petition to Governor Wilson, setting forth
the facts in the case, and praying that the
Governor demand his release on the
ground that the charge upon which he had
been surrendered by the West Virginia
authorities had resulted in his acquittal,
and that he was now being held for trial
upon another and different charge. II
was alleged at the time Skinner was ar
raigned before the Circuit Court that the
Washington county authorities had no idea
of pressing the gambling case against him,
but that they really desired to get hold Of
the fugitive for another and different
reason. And this seems to have been the
case. The matter involves several very
interesting points, and the outcome viii
be awaited with interest

AN UNIQUE AFFAIR.
OUTLINE OF THE HISTORICAL PAGEANT II
BIZ GIVEN AT MARIETTA,
In Aid Of the Woman's Centennial Association
The Matter Under the Patonages Of the
Ohurche-An Interesting Programme.

On the 7th of next April will occur the
one hundredth anniversary Of the first set
tlemen. of the Northwest Territory, under
the United States government. This set
Element was made at Marietta, and the
people of that city, imbued with the very
commendable idea Of ittingly celebrating
the event, have formed a Woman's Centen'
NAL Association, as affording the suresi
and best means Of accomplishing the end
in view. This Association naturally de.
sires funds, and as a means Of acquiring 9
portion of the cash necessary to carrying
out the project, ii was, some time ago, de-
termined to give a sort of preliminary en-
tertainment, which would be directly in
the line of the Centennial celebration, il
thus serving the dual purpose of providing
funds and awakening public interest In the
main enterprise. This entertainment,
which has taken the form Of a historical
pageant, will be presented at the City
Hall, in Marietta, on the 18th inst, and
promises to be we'll worth seeing. The
programme is an elaborate affair.
1t opens with a grand march, in which
the column is headed by Christopher
Columbus and Isabella, Queen of Spain,
and then follow Captain John Smith and
Pccahontas, John Alden and Priscilla,
William Penn and Anna Fox, General
Washington and Martha Washington, Gen.
eral Israel Putnam, Blennerhassett and
Mrs. Blennerhassett, Sons of Blennerhas-
sett, Aaron Burr and Theodosia Burr,
Aaron Waldo Putnam and Mrs. Putnam,
Capt. Jonathan Stone and Mrs. Stone, Gen.
Joseph Buell., the Society Of the Cincin'
natl, and a long list of historical person
ages of local reputation, all properly cos
TUNED, and surrounded with appropriate
scenery.
This will be followed by a series OF
tableaux, as follows:
LANDING OF THE FRENCH AT THE
MOUTH OF MUsKINGUM ON THE WEST
POINT, AUGUST 10TH, 1749.
The French Government which held
possession of the Northwestern Territory,
often sent out troops for the purpose Of in
specting and examining their domain. In
the year 1749, Roland Michel Barrin,
Marquis de la Galissoniere, Governor Gen
eral of Canada, sent out Celoron de Brien-
Vile with three hundred men, accompa-
MED by Rev. Joseph Peter de Bonnecamp,
a Jesuit, as Chaplain, on a tour of inspec-
ton. Coming down the River Ohio
from Fort Duquesne, they pitched their
camp, among other places, at the
confluence of the Ohio and Mus
kingum rivers, where they also buried the
leaden plate found in 1898. During this
Journey the Chaplain would hold services
for troops and would endeavor to preach to
the Indians, and, if successful, establish an
Indian mission. From the report sent to
Rome by the Chaplain it is evident that
he held the divine service of mass at said
place.
